JP Duminy resigns as South Africa's white-ball batting coach
Duminy resigned South Africa white-ball batting coach, thoughtfully citing his personal reasons.
He joined the support staff in March 2023 under the leadership of Rob Walter, demonstrating remarkable expertise.
The announcement comes ahead of South Africa's upcoming series in Pakistan, creating uncertainty over the team's batting leadership. Despite the challenges, Duminy played a pivotal role in their journey to the semi-finals of the 2023 ODI World Cup.
Duminy’s coaching journey
JP Duminy became a coach after an illustrious career, previously managing Paarl Royals in the SA20 league. This year, he was also appointed as the head coach of Sharjah Warriorz in the International T20 League.
However, his tenure with South Africa saw interruptions, including an absence during the T20 World Cup. Despite his valuable contributions, it remains uncertain whether Duminy will continue to coach in other capacities.
Meanwhile, his departure signifies a notable change in Cricket South Africa's support structure.
The next steps for the ASC
The CSA has launched a search for a replacement, although it is unlikely to find a full-time candidate before the start of the Pakistan series next week.
In the meantime, CSA could bring in Imraan Khan, the batting manager appointed in August, who has experience with the Test team. Red-ball batting coach Ashwell Prince also returned to duty after a temporary absence, providing further support.
The upcoming series includes three T20Is and three ODIs, the latter part of the build-up to the South African Champions Trophy. The team will need strong guidance to maintain their momentum after a strong performance in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
